The YES BANK e-auction has enabled a successful plug-n-play solution at the grassroots of this district, enabling the solution to go live in a shorter Time-to-Market period; Absence of location constraints; Integrated online payment option for bidders.

YES BANK launched the e-auction as part of its continued efforts under the larger ‘TECH FOR CHANGE’ initiative, wherein the bank collaborates with large, mid-size corporates and government bodies on holistic tech based solutions for operational excellence.

Way Forward

Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district has approximately 84 MahaSanghs which are expected to implement the success model of Dhanora where they shall sell the forest produce comprising of Tendu Patta, Bamboo and Mahua commodities. YES BANK will continue to support the community, and work with Maharashtra, as well as other state governments to increase efficiency of the agricultural sector of the country.
